Still having problems with my tv tuner -- need help

Hi;
tvtime gives me a great picture but no sound.
mplayer gives me a terrible picture and no sound.
(terrible = inverted picture with green background; just black and
magenta for colours; and vertical lines running through it.)
Is there a way to find out which video codecs etc. tvtime is using so I
can duplicate them in mplayer. tvtime -v doesn't tell me (I think) nor
is mplayer -v helpful.
I have tried the sound with PulseAudio installed and removed. No
difference.
Here is what I have today

The mplayer command line above comes from a couple of googled suggested
